As we age more things happen to us, changes in our health become more and more evident. Say for an instance physical changes like skin aging, wrinkles, graying of hair, and some other changes than happen within our body like high blood pressure. As we all know high blood pressure also known as hypertension is most common in adults.
High blood pressure causes the hardening of arteries in which build up of fatty deposits in arteries thickens the artery walls.
High blood pressure causes a big stake on one's health. This can lead to major health problems like stroke or heart attack. But up to now despite the modern science and medicine advancement,
high blood pressure causes still not fully known. Often associated with obesity, stress and foods high in salt and fat therefore these must be avoided to prevent further damage to yourself. Proper diet, exercise and medications are the key to lowering and maintaining a healthy blood pressure level. This can be hard for some people but with the right determination and discipline fighting the odds of hypertension can be easier than ever.
It's has been almost a year since FIL was given a second life, he never detected whether he's having hypertension all those times and up to the moment when he was actually having a heart attack. He has always thought he's healthy and nothing's wrong with him but you can never really tell until something bad happens. What happened changed his views in life and habits, eating a lot healthier and doing some exercises to maintain a healthier body.

Last December 27, me, hubs, baby and in-laws went to Nevada-California Border within the mountains to enjoy some snow. It was quite a drive about 4hrs from home, it sure was hard to keep baby occupied and to keep him still in his infant seat.
My brave little boy wasn't wearing any special snow suit, just nice warm layers of body suits and his cute bear shoes. See how chubby he looks wearing that thick body suit just like a stripped polar bear!
After assessing the snow when I put him down, he just stood for a while and tried crawling. He was really crawling fast and enjoying it. He even liked I take off his mittens to feel the snow. Looks like next year or when he's big enough to run around and ride the sled he will just drag me to play with him.

I have been following up on the apartments manager about the tile damage on the second floor hallway and up to now he hasn't sent anybody to fix it. The crack is starting to get bigger and to think some of our fellow second floor neighbors are quite heavy footed. Me and hubs refer to them as "stompers" because they seem to be stomping around whenever they walk by the hallway. Sometimes baby even wakes up when they pass by. Couple of times I almost yell out to tell them to walk gently and stop stomping around.
Last time we talked to the in-house manager he mentioned that the ceiling underneath the cracked walkway has already started to rot. It's wood so with the rains previously, the wood has been soaked and wearing off. They said the owners for this apartment complex are so cheap and very tight with money therefore not wanting to fix the problem. They better do something or else not only the hall renovation will eat up their precious money, so as the
water damage repair service austin.
Only if they paid attention to our appeals then they definitely will save from
water damage repair costs austin. All we were asking as an immediate action was to overlay a thick plywood to sustain and distribute the weight, this way further cracking can be avoided. Then being so negligent will end up with a higher
water damage cost austin compared to just a regular repair. Our biggest concern is our safety and as much as we want to vacate this unit it's not that easy to move things out and settle in again in another unit. We're just hoping the hall can hold on til we're out of here for good with our own house.

Wedding can be considered as one of those moments in life that you would want to document so well that's why I didn't mind paying for the price when we had our wedding photo and video coverage. I didn't go for the one I really wanted to do the job for us due to its very high rates and somehow we still wanted to save and be practical.
I don't know if I'm just so meticulous with things most especially when it comes to designs and layout. When the first set of layout was given to me for review I got so furious on how sloppy the designs were. I mean what happened to it? I saw very nice layout when they presented me their offers and when I booked for their service they simply gave me a sloppy layout?!
...studio layout, hate it!!! see how crowded and messy it looks?...The photo-video provider received quite a bunch of comments from me. Why not? When that advertising agency showed their works you'd say "wow!" but what they gave me didn't impress me at all. I can't imagine that the sequencing wasn't even observed! Looks like they gave the job to a newbie. After back and forth coordination and re-layout, wasting my time going there to their studio still I wasn't happy with their work so I decided to do the layout myself.
...my layout with my friend's final design editing touches, what do you think?...I worked on my own layout design and had someone I know to do the finishing touches and then I just handed them my finished wedding album layout for printing and binding. They even had the cover wrong so again another disappointment. I'm just happy that almost after a year I finally got the photo and video, too long for such service right? To think I paid their price and yet we got disappointed with their bad service. It even came to a point when I had my lawyer friend write a letter to them for their neglect. That's how pissed I was.

Do I miss working in an office and having a boss around? I asked this to myself a while ago and I it made me think.
There are pros and cons being employed but even if there are many advantages with this set-up I am very much happy being self-employed and working from home. Of course I am very much thankful to my former boss who trained me, he's a great boss and he taught me many important lessons in architecture and the business itself. He served as a solid foundation in my learning process, I won't be able to accomplish everything if I didn't get the chance to have that special training from his office.
I only worked in two offices right after graduating college. I first joined a team of
electrical contractor and and
structured cabling contractor in which I was deployed on site. I witnessed how a structure's being built in close range. It was a tough job being deployed in site because the comforts of going to a regular office building in the metro is way too incomparable. Although I admit I enjoyed this part of the job where I can much action but didn't love the stress. There's so much going on in a construction site.
My second employment was when I decided to leave for better Architecture practice. That's my last formal job employment before I started working freelance. Me and hubs knew what we wanted to do from the start that's why we challenged establishing our own architecture/design home business.
So do I miss being employed? Yes and no. Yes because my time routine was more fixed and I tend not to do much overtime. No because I love my family, the two boys in my life who are the most important of all. Working freelance gives me the opportunity to take care of my little baby and my dear husband. It also strengthens our hopes of being self sufficient in time, earning on our own being our own boss.
